Usecases
In our smart handcuffs project designed for the U.S. Federal Prison System, Wi-Fi plays a crucial role in monitoring and safeguarding inmate health, the smart handcuffs are equipped with sensors to track heart rate, acceleration, and gyroscopic data. Wi-Fi ensures this health data is transmitted in real time to centralized monitoring systems, enabling swift intervention in case of anomalies. The handcuffs integrate with NFC technology for location-based monitoring. NFC tags in the handcuffs interact with door threshold readers via Wi-Fi, updating inmate locations and health status in real time.
By utilizing Wi-Fi, correctional facilities can ensure continuous, accurate tracking of inmates, minimizing the risk of custody-related incidents and deaths.
